Mozilla Web Literacy standard: draft release candidate

On Monday it’s the last Web Literacy standard community call before the soft launch of the draft Web Literacy standard on April 26th. If that sounds tentative, it is! We want as much feedback from as wide a range of people and organisations as possible on the road towards v1.0 at the Mozilla Festival in late October 2013.

Below you’ll find the overview grid, the descriptors for each competency, and a diagram of the ‘stack’ of where this competency grid fits into the whole picture. We’ll have new, much better versions of these diagrams in due course – these are just my mockups!

The descriptors still need some work so that’s what we’ll be focusing in on at Monday’s call.

Exploring

Web Fundamentals – Understanding and using the Web ecosystem

Search – Locating information, people and resources

Security – Keeping your identity, system and network safe

Credibility – Assessing the trustworthiness of online sources of information or activities.

Building

Composing for the Web – Composing ‘texts’ using hyperlinks and other affordances of the Web

Remixing – Using existing openly-licensed content to create something new or modified.

HTML– Understanding HyperText Markup Language, how to read and write the building blocks of the Web, and use it to create digital artifacts

CSS – Understanding Cascading Style Sheets, how to read and write them and use them in different ways to style the building blocks of the Web

IMHO, I think this is the clearest part:
(the 3-D diagram)
categories = strands
Competencies = groups of skills from the same area
meta-level elements = literacies = competencies from different strands
Definitely clearer than the last iteration. Nice!
